Kind Words

Cannot speak more highly of de Havilland Memories! Florrie created the most beautiful piece of artwork for my wife and I for our wedding day. The skill and craft that went into creating something so impressive for our special day is to be greatly admired! Thanks again so much Florrie - we will be recommending you to everyone we know 🙂

Absolutely blown away by our specialised artwork from de Havilland Memories. Florrie carefully incorporated the flowers from my wedding bouquet as part of the design; my bold pinks, peaches and purple hues provided a stunning contrast with the smart black of the calligraphy, which details the traditional gifts given at wedding anniversaries. Beautifully juxtaposing modern and classic, the piece has already become a talking point amongst guests for its clean lines, unique flourishes and clever composition.
The framed painting arrived promptly last week (no mean feat when travelling from Germany to the Isle of Man) and was safely packaged to ensure the painting was protected. Would 100% recommend this personalised product, either as a gift for a loved one or just as a treat for yourself!

De Havilland Memories did a fantastic job for the perfect gift for my brother’s wedding. Amazing customer service throughout the whole process, with completely open and thorough conversations about the specifics of the gift; specifics I would never have even thought of. Florrie was born to do this! 🙂

Investment

Each refined commission is beautifully curated and designed to be a work of art. As each piece is unique, we are unable to quote our work without first learning more about your needs.

To ensure that each design is perfect, we require a minimum design fee of £250 and will calculate your investment from there, depending on several factors, such as number of words, embellishments and whether or not you would like an accompanying watercolour illustration.

To discuss your personal calligraphy artwork, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
